5 reasons to switch to Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. Lots of free software available
| 
| If your PC doesn't already have a Linux distro (the geek cool name for a 
| particular distributed version of the operating system) installed on it, and 
| you're a tech-head then you can generally get the Linux operating system 
| itself for free   
| 
| If you want support and instructions on setting it up you can pay a software 
| company for this.

Linux Migration Guide: Finding Linux Equivalents to Your Favorite Windows
Programs 

,----[ Quote ]
| Which do you spend more time interacting with: your operating system, or your 
| software? It's possible to get too pedantic with the answer as ultimately 
| everything comes back to the operating system, but really, the answer is your 
| software. You edit a file in a text editor or word processor. You read your 
| email in an email client. You browse the Web in a Web browser. So when it 
| comes time to move from Windows to Linux, one of the first things you want to 
| consider is what software you rely on in the Windows world, and what you're 
| going to use in Linux.

AT: Vienna to teach its public servants about open source desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| In an emailed statement, Marie Ringler, local Green Party councillor involved
| in the proposal, said: "If we want to switch to GNU/Linux and other open
| source applications, we should take the fears and concerns of our users
| seriously. Future open source users should be better informed."
